Hear me out. They will go to prison and even die bc of their integrity and love for each other. They’re the only ones preaching all over the world like Jesus commanded. They’re the only ones using God’s name. I feel that the love and unity they have is key in recognizing true Christianity. While some of their beliefs are controversial, there is always a logical and biblical explanation. They’ve answered all of my questions reasonably and back it up with the bible. They are the only Christian denomination that is widely hated, slandered and ridiculed, which is what Jesus said would happen to his true followers. They are kind, honest and hardworking people. And while the lifestyle and living up to the bible’s standards is not for everyone, I think that anyone seeking bible truth should be open to having frank conversations with them. I want to be one of them but because of my personal issues I am unable to live that life of sacrifice and truly put god first. I’m not trying to ruffle any feathers just my opinion that’s been shaped by true experiences with them.

I’m a borderline and have had a very difficult time recently with managing extremely intense emotions. I am taking THC 25mg everyday. It’s my only escape, but my Dr. wants me to quit completely. Just thinking about it makes me feel like dying. I have a 16 with Autism who requires so much attention and I can’t handle it if I’m sober. I have tried to switch to drinking and today I got a pack of cigarettes that I haven’t used since I was pregnant 16 years ago. It’s not ideal but these things are keeping me from harder drugs, risky unsafe sex and serious financial debt. I am married to the most patient wonderful man and my family is very supportive but I really just want to run away and self-destruct until I die. I wish I could be that selfish but I can’t do that to the people who work so hard to keep me alive during my entire life. I need alternatives to release all this intensity. Any ideas?

My whole life I’ve been addicted to attention from anyone. I have done really horrible things to get it. I’ve put myself in really scary situations and humilitated myself to get it. I’ve burnt so many bridges with friends and never understood why I kept losing my friends who I love so intensely. Now I realize I was the villan. And now it’s too late to mend things with a lot of them. I just turned 40 and i completely let myself go into a dark hole of depression. I’ve gained 50lbs, impulsively cut my hair and have no energy or desire to wear make up. I used to be stunning. I wrapped up my whole identity into that and now that it’s gone, i feel so empty inside. I’m very mentally ill and my husband is the only thing keeping me alive but I don’t want this ugly version of me to exist. I don’t want anyone to look at me. I’m pretty sure I’m a narcissist and Histrionic. So I contend with a lot of negative behavior that my family would be mortified if they knew. They’re all very wholesome, good people. I can’t stand looking at them they’re all slender and attractive. My mom is 62 and people stop her to tell her how beautiful she is. My husband is constantly getting hit on cause he’s aging so well and is still very handsome but I’m disgusting and I just want to die.
